Not all the Ingush MPs are ready to come to the session of the Sharia Court, although defamation of the supporters of the border agreement is not the aim of the trial, said the MP Zakri Mamilov and the Elder Akhmed Barakhoev. The Sharia Court recognizes that the decision of the Parliament is not compliant with the Islam, but it will not be able to enforce its verdict, experts have stated.

"Any self-respecting Muslim will come to the Sharia Court, otherwise the Imam of the local mosque will talk to him," said Ahmed Barakhoev, a member of the Ingush Council of Teips.

The Sharia Court will make its verdict based on MPs' testimonies, when it defines how they had voted. If the fact of voting falsification is confirmed, the Council of Teips intends to apply to the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) with a request to investigate the violation.

There were no such sessions of the Sharia Court in modern Russia; therefore this case in Ingushetia is a "dangerous precedent", said Alexei Malashenko, a political analyst. He has noted that the MPs will not be able to ignore the invitation to the trial.

The verdict of the Sharia Court will not affect the rulings of the authorities of the Russian Federation, said Akhmet Yarlykapov, a Caucasus historian.

The name of the paratrooper, Mikhail Bezelt, who, according to the official data, blew himself up on a mine in Chechnya, has appeared in the list of Donbass casualties. On the whole, the version of the contractor's death during exercises looks plausible, but it's strange that the exercise area had not been inspected by sappers, the law enforcers interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" have noted.

The detention of a witch in Chechnya and the report shown by the "Grozny" ChGTRK (Chechen State TV and Radio Company), where she was criticized by a doctor from the Centre for Islamic Medicine, was treated by some social networks commentators as a return to Middle Ages. Their opponents have supported the persecution of sorcerers in the republic.
